had to do some book writing this morning woke up at 6am not sure exactly what i wanted to focus on, but just thinking and barfing onto the page is v clarifying i am someone who has always found the act of writing painful. but labor and pain is good for my process!

Yes. Writing is not a second thing that happens after thinking. The act of writing is an act of thinking. Writing *is* thinking. Students, academics, and anyone else who outsources their writing to LLMs will find their screens full of words and their minds emptied of thought.
@DKThomp one thing i appreciate that folks complain about (as do i) is the "cold start" problem. that's generally how they pitch LLMs as helpers. for me ive always needed a gun-to-head to start, not a prompt. and i worry the prompt or the LLM writing your beginning robs you of something
